Princess Cruises - Diamond Princess Review Summary

Cruise ships travel to many diverse places and Princess Cruises- Diamond Princess is a favorite among those who like to cruise in the Far East or to Alaska. Reviewers like the Diamond Princess for many reasons, including the great staff and the abundance of food- particularly the twenty- four hour buffet. One reviewer describes the Diamond Princess by saying “The Ship is Beautiful and the Staff is Customer Oriented”. About the only complaints reviewers’ voice are the lack of free internet- even for premium members- and the long waits in line to get something to eat. Take away these two minor faults and you have a Cruiseline that is quite popular among those who have experienced it.

The Diamond Princess is an enormous ship, 3000+ passengers.
We sailed from Singapore to Sydney during their 19 day cruise.
The variety of restaurants as well as room service helps to break up
any monotony of dining at the exact same table, at the exact same time
with the exact same wait staff as in the old...

Due to the whole Swine Flu outbreak, Princess Cruises was "obligated" to cancel all stops in Mexico.  I don't understand why the money hungry cruise line couldn't just accomodate passengers that DO NOT like the itinerary changes and give them the option to go on a Mexican Riviera some other time...instead...

We spent 2 wonderful weeks in Alaska this past summer on a tour that was arranged through Princess Cruises.  We had a 7 days of land cruising that were filled with informative tour guides, breathtaking scenery & wildlife, great lodges and food.  We then spent 7 days on the Diamond Princess which included stops at Juneau, Skagway, Ketchican.

We enjoyed some fantastic side trips including flightseeing to a glacier, a totem pole tour and lumberjack shows.

This was our first cruise and we throughly enjoyed ourselves and would go back again and again to both Alaska or to other locations that Princess...

We went on the Diamond Princess from Whittier to Vancouver in June 2007.  We were happy to be upgraded from an inside to a balcony cabin even though it was in front of the ship.  The cruise staff provided great entertainment and were service oriented.  The food was excellent and so was the wait staff.  We really enjoyed our cruise very much.  The only negative comment I had was that the internet was no longer free for Platinum members, only had a limited number of minutes free, but since we were in a port every day I didn't have much time to use the internet anyway!

We've been on three Princess cruises and each has been very enjoyable.  I never expected to like cruises, but I'm pleasantly surprised.  Traveling wtihout hassling with hotel rooms, baggage transfers, etc. is a relief.  Ship staff are helpful and courteous.  Prices are quite reasonable (we're thrifty travelers).  Destinations are well picked, and tours are worth the money.  Only negative is that the visits to cities are shorter than we'd like--but one has to sacrifice something, and you simply have to plan ahead to make the best use of your time ashore.  We've just booked another one, to... review »

I took the Princess Cruise Line to Alaska last year. It was amazing, I had never been on a cruise before and I had the experience of a lifetime. 24-hr buffet=major plus! I got to see an entirely different side of America and venture into territory I had yet to see (Canada). The help was amazing, It was like staying in a 5-star hotel that floated on water. There was always fun stuff to do for the entire family! I will definitely be going again!

I would for sure go again! It was a great time.  The only thing that I did not like was that the water was pretty rough and was sick pretty much ever evening.  I still had a great time being sick.  There was so much to do on and off the boat.  It was amazing.
